Description

Dodecylbenzenesulphonic Acid, Compound With Butylamine (1:1) is a high-purity organic salt formed by the neutralization of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid with butylamine. This compound is valued for its surfactant properties and enhanced handling characteristics compared to the free acid form. It is a critical intermediate and functional additive for manufacturers in the chemical synthesis, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking reliable performance and consistent quality.

Application

• Surfactant Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of specialized anionic and amphoteric surfactants for high-performance formulations.
• Emulsifier for Agrochemicals: Used in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve emulsion stability and active ingredient dispersion.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a powerful wetting and cleaning agent in heavy-duty degreasers and detergent concentrates.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Component: Incorporated into lubricant additives and metalworking fluids to provide surface protection.
• Textile Processing Aid: Functions as a levelling and scouring agent in dyeing and finishing processes.
• Polymerization Aid: Acts as an emulsifier and acid catalyst in certain emulsion polymerization reactions.

Quality Control

Our production of Dodecylbenzenesulphonic Acid, Compound With Butylamine (1:1) adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch is analyzed to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications, including assay, moisture content, and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong bases and oxidizing agents.
